Orphaned non-free image File:Recycle Rush logo.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Recycle Rush logo.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 22:32, 4 January 2015 (UTC)
FRC Article Vandalism
Seems like at a kickoff event when I gave my computer to someone they took part in vandalisms... sorry.

Recycle Rush content removal
I can understand removing The Noodle Agreement section, as that is still a fluctuating, new community idea, but the rest of the content is in line with the rest of the FIRST Robotics Competition games pages. Bab (talk) 05:20, 5 January 2015 (UTC)
- Most of the prose that I removed was copyvio. Having an extremely long list of events that haven't happened yet seems a bit silly to include when there is barely any prose. Legoktm (talk) 05:24, 5 January 2015 (UTC)
Recycle Rush editing
Hello Legoktm,
Recently, you have changed many things on the Recycle Rush page (https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Recycle_Rush) and took down almost all of the information because of "non-encyclopedic events list". I would like to know why this is the reason and what it means, since if you look at the Aerial Assist page (https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Aerial_Assist), the exact same thing was done.
Thanks, TheRoboticGuy TheRoboticGuy (talk) 12:49, 5 January 2015 (UTC)

Recent software changes

- A bug in VisualEditor sometimes added a
☀(Sun) character. This is now fixed. [3] - The search and replace tool in VisualEditor is now much faster in long pages. [4]
- The TemplateData editor now uses the same design as VisualEditor. [5] [6] [7]

thumboption is now shown in your language in the help of the classic editor toolbar. [8]

Recent changes
- You can download the new version of the Wikipedia app for Android. The new version shows lead images, better galleries and content from Wikidata. It also has many other new features.[10] [11]
- Programs and bots still can't read information about images on many wikis. You can see the list of wikis with the most files to fix. Wikipedia in Italian, Indonesian and Japanese language have the most files to fix. On the biggest wikis you should use bots. Bots can add information templates to groups of files. You can ask other tech users to help you.
Problems
- All JavaScript on Commons was broken for a few minutes on Tuesday. It was because of old code in the HotCat tool. The same problem happened on some Wikipedias on Wednesday. It is now fixed. [12]
Software changes this week
- There are no software changes this week and next week due to annual meetings. [13]

Huggle message
Hey Legoktm! You are receiving this message because you are subscribed at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Huggle/Members#Beta_testers
I have recently launched a new downloads for beta testers that contains nightly builds of huggle, eg. versions that are built every day from our master branch and contains latest huggle. These builds are currently provided only for Windows and Ubuntu. You can find them here: http://huggle.wmflabs.org/builds/
Please keep in mind that these don't have any automatic updates and if you download and start using nightly build, you will need to update it yourself! So don't get yourself to running old version, it's possible to install both stable and nightly huggle, which is what I suggest.
Keep the bug reports coming to phabricator: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/maniphest/task/create/?projects=Huggle Many thanks! Petrb (talk) 09:59, 28 January 2015 (UTC)
